Overview

There are more than 125 million Americans today who suffer from chronic disease…but you’ve never met one quite like Linda Nordyke Hambleton.

If Today Is All I Have recounts the remarkable true story of Linda’s life, love, sickness, blindness, death, resuscitation, heartbreak, faith, hope and ultimate peace. Equal parts medical drama, romance, and inspirational saga, her story could be described as “ER” meets “Touched By An Angel”.

At its heart, Linda’s captivating account chronicles the struggle to reconcile her three dreams of experiencing life as a “normal woman” with the tough realities of her medical condition. Her journey is punctuated with insights that are at times humorous, painful, provocative and live-affirming.

Here’s how Linda describes her life journey:

“I first learned of my disease at age 6. Doctors gave me about 25 years to live. Despite multiple heart attacks, strokes, transplants, three years of blindness and over 60 pills a day—I won’t give up. But medical complications tell only part of my story. Three heart-felt dreams gave me the courage to laugh, love and live. This is my true story.”

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

The primary target audience for “If Today Is All I Have” are readers who enjoy powerful, true life dramas centered on medical crisis, love stories, surmounting obstacles and overcoming personal feelings of inadequacy. Regardless of race, creed, color, or background everyone is subject to feelings of insufficiency. Linda’s book deals with this psychological/emotional issue head-on as it is the primary inner struggle of the author’s life.

A strong market also exists for readers interested in following the self-discovery and soul-penetrating journey of an extraordinary woman. Linda’s story fully engages readers in the medical drama, spiritual searching and emotional tapestry of her singular life. Encouraging others to seek their dreams and overcome the obstacles in their own lives. Though the book will have a spiritual component due to the author’s journey of faith, it will not be targeted to a specifically “Christian” audience.

Another audience for Linda’s book are true-to-life romance readers who will be caught up in Linda’s love story with its many twists and turns, but with an ultimately satisfying ending. And of course, there are many readers who will appreciate Linda’s heartfelt memoir of one woman’s victory over adversity with insightful lessons on how to make the best out of the worst life brings you.
